Former transport minister S Iswaran has finished serving his sentence and is no longer under prison custody.

The Singapore Prison Service (SPS) confirms with Mothership that S Iswaran has completed his emplacement on the home detention scheme and is no longer under their custody.

Iswaran's jail sentence commenced on Oct. 7, 2024, which meant that his first 122 days were spent in prison.

He was placed on a home detention scheme starting from Feb. 7, 2025.

First cabinet minister in Singapore to be imprisoned​

The former transport minister was sentenced to one year's jail on Oct. 3, 2024, after he pleaded guilty on Sep. 24 to five criminal charges relating to him receiving gifts as a public servant.

Inmates placed on home detention scheme will serve their remaining sentences at their residences under specified conditions.

Prisoners can be placed on home detention for not more than one year, with offenders becoming eligible for home detention after serving around one-third of their sentence.

Iswaran is the first cabinet minister in Singapore to be imprisoned.

He sabotaged by Ong Beng Seng Liao… life is suffering, it’s not all rosy…

all I can say is he is not really a corrupt person. just that, he shouldn’t be so careless, there are still protocol/rules to follow…
